Hello!​ ​​ ​My​ ​name​ ​is​ ​Wendy​ ​and​ ​I​ ​am​ ​a​ ​49 year​ ​old​ ​wife​ ​and​ ​mom​ ​of ​one​ ​adult​ ​son.​ ​​ ​I​ ​live​ ​near Grand​ ​Junction,​ ​CO​ ​with​ ​my​ ​family,​ ​3​ ​dogs,​ ​3​ ​cats,​ ​5​ ​goats​, 2 cows ​and​ ​a​ ​horde​ ​of​ ​chickens. 
 Having​ ​been​ ​overweight/obese​ ​for​ ​most​ ​of​ ​my​ ​life,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​tried​ ​a​ ​succession​ ​of​ ​diets​ ​(Nutrisystem, Jenny​ ​Craig,​ ​Weight​ ​Watchers,​ ​low​ ​fat/low​ ​calorie,​ ​etc)​ ​that​ ​did​ ​result​ ​in​ ​some​ ​weight​ ​loss​ ​but nothing​ ​that​ ​I​ ​was​ ​able​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​long​ ​term.​ ​The​ ​weight​ ​always​ ​seemed​ ​to​ ​come​ ​back,​ ​plus more.​ ​​ ​After​ ​hearing​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Ketogenic​ ​“diet“,​ ​I​ ​started​ ​doing​ ​research​ ​on​ ​this​ ​way​ ​of​ ​eating​ ​and quickly​ ​realized​ ​that​ ​it​ ​was​ ​what​ ​I​ ​had​ ​been​ ​looking​ ​for,​ ​for​ ​so​ ​many​ ​years.​ ​​ ​I​ ​jumped​ ​right​ ​in​ ​and haven’t​ ​looked​ ​back!​ ​​ ​Keto​ ​has​ ​helped​ ​me​ ​shed​ ​85 ​lbs​ ​since April 2017 ​and​ ​I‘m​ ​now​ ​20 lbs from my goal​ ​weight.​ ​Eating​ ​Keto​ ​has​ ​completely​ ​eliminated​ ​my​ ​cravings​ ​for​ ​high​ ​carb/sugary​ ​foods​ ​and​ ​I feel​ ​healthier​ ​than​ ​I​ ​have​ ​in​ ​decades.​ ​I​ ​was ​never​ a​ ​fan​ ​of​ ​exercising​ ​but​ ​the​ ​success​ ​I have​ ​found​ ​with​ ​Keto​ ​has​ ​also​ ​motivated​ ​me​ ​to​ ​exercise​ ​six​ ​days​ ​a​ ​week.​ ​I​ ​currently​ ​do​ ​Pilates once ​a​ ​week,​ ​yoga ​once​ ​a​ ​week​ ​and​ ​cardio/weights​ ​4 ​times​ ​a​ ​week.​ ​​ ​This has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​​true​ ​lifestyle​ ​change​ ​for​ ​me. 
 As​ ​an​ ​administrator​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Facebook​ ​group​ ​​Strict Keto for Beginners, I​ ​receive​ ​private​ ​messages every​ ​day​ ​asking​ ​for​ ​one​ ​on​ ​one​ ​help​ ​and​ ​advice.​ ​​ ​I​ ​truly​ ​enjoy​ ​helping​ ​people​ ​get​ ​the​ ​most​ ​out​ ​of their​ ​Keto​ ​journey​ ​and​ ​sharing​ ​recommendations​  based on ​on​ ​how​ ​I​ ​have​ ​been​ ​successful, my training as a​  sports nutritionist and the constant research I do on the Keto WOE. ​I​ ​am​ ​here​ ​to help​ ​you​ ​be​ ​achieve​ ​your​ ​weight​ ​loss​ ​goals​ ​and​ ​guide​ ​you​ ​though​ ​the​ ​Keto​ ​way​ ​of​ ​life!
